äänennopeus
The speed of sound, or äänennopeus in Finnish, refers to the distance that a sound wave travels per unit of time as it propagates through an elastic medium. It is a characteristic property of the medium itself. The speed of sound in a gas is dependent on the gas's temperature and composition, and is also influenced by humidity. In liquids, the speed of sound is generally higher than in gases, and in solids, it is typically even higher.
The speed of sound is not constant and varies with the properties of the medium through which
Understanding the speed of sound is crucial in various scientific and engineering fields, including acoustics, seismology,
